In the latest version of “Alone”, 7 pairs of family members travel to Northern Vancouver Island, a remote and rugged region of British Columbia known as the “Wet Coast”. Each duo will be separated from their loved one and dropped miles apart with 2 ultimate goals; navigate the brutally thick wilderness in an attempt to locate their family member and survive as long as they can, completely isolated and alone. The participants will only have the contents of their small backpacks, enough camera gear to record their experience and 10 tools split between them. Once reunited, each team must create their own shelters, pull food from the ocean, overcome harsh terrain, bitter cold, drenching downpours, contend with a host of deadly predators and each other. They will truly be on their own. No camera crew. No gimmicks. Last team standing wins.

During the 1987 NFL strike, pro teams scrambled to assemble temporary replacement players to fill in for their striking stars. The Washington Redskins were notable for their “scabs,” a team of cast-offs and has-beens who rode a surprising wave of momentum against all odds. These were men who had dreamed of a career in football or even come close to it, but their dreams had never been realized until that fateful season. In the end, crossing the picket line to play in the NFL did change their lives, but not in the way they’d expected or hoped. For many, this was their final chance to live the NFL dream. What they didn’t know was that their golden ticket would become a scarlet letter.

Year of the Scab revisits this ultimate underdog story, and the men whose ordinary lives were interrupted, who broke the strike and brought their team to victory, only to struggle for their place in the sports history books.
